Lorrie halted just inside the door. Kathy and Bess were there. They both turned around to look at her as she came in.
“Hello, Lorrie,” Bess said, as if she did not know just what to say and chose the easiest words.

“Forgot!” Kathy looked unconvinced. “As if you could—”
“I did, and that's the truth, Kathy Lockner, the whole truth!”
“I don't see what could be so important that you'd forget like that.”MoreLess
